Using a razor helps to enable more swing and movement in hair styles; a modern, jagged, disheveled line; the ability to redefine the texture of the hair; thinning out thicker textures; short, messy, and undone hair styles; and beautiful soft-shaped layers. When curly hair is cut short, the cuts should be made with the natural curl rather than against it.

.For me, razor cuts versus scissor cuts means different cutting techniques. The hair is held differently and cut using different motions. These techniques require practice to master. The razor can be used for the entire cut, or simply to soften and texturize the hair once it has been initially cut using scissors.For you, the results are the biggest difference between the two cutting methods. The hairstyles achieved with razor cuts tend to be smoother and ​softer looking. In many ways the look is more organic, without clearly defined layering or weight lines.
